| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain Greek cross with a single pellet positioned in the lower angle, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular legend PISTIANA REI, referencing the Christian religion (Christiana Religio), runs along the outer border in hammered Latin capitals. The cross is boldly struck at center, its arms extending nearly to the inner circle, with the pellet serving as the sole decorative element within the angles. The composition reflects the devout religious iconography characteristic of Louis I's early monetary reform coinage. |
